    TLDR New treatment reduces hair shedding and increases hair density in women with early hair loss.
    The study evaluated the effectiveness of a new topical treatment containing several hair growth promoters in women with early female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The treatment, Spectral.DNC-N, was found to significantly reduce hair shedding and increase hair mass/density within 3 months, with further improvements seen in patients who continued treatment. The regimen was well tolerated, and patients indicated a high degree of satisfaction. The study suggests that Spectral.DNC-N provides an effective treatment option for FPHL that also provides a high level of patient satisfaction, which may help promote patient adherence to long-term treatment. However, the study was open and the number of patients was small.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A user's experience with hair loss treatments such as finasteride, ketoconazole, and oral minoxidil that have not yielded any results; other users suggest shaving the head or getting a wig, while others offer additional advice such as seeing a dermatologist, checking thyroid levels, switching to dutasteride and adding needling, and trying stemoxydine.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
